For whatever reasons Iowa Republicans are getting excited about Sen. Santorum, it is a good bet that it isn't because of his immigration-issues profile -- which they likely know little about. Typically this past year, Republican voters have pushed a new presidential candidate high up the polls before taking a good look at the immigration record/platform of that candidate. Each time, NumbersUSA has provided an in-depth look at that candidate's immigration positions (and our analysis has tended to be the most widely used). It is now Santorum's turn as he surges in the Iowa polls just days before that state's first-in-the-nation caucuses.

At NumbersUSA we believe that the numerical level of immigration should
be set in ways that: allow for a stabilizing U.S. population; allow for
the preservation of Americans’ individual liberty; and allow for
fairness in economic opportunity for Americans and legal workers.

illegal immigration. Rep. Brooks was identified as a "True Reform"
Candidate during last year's mid-term elections, agreeing in the
affirmative to all 12 questions on NumbersUSA's Immigration-Reduction
survey.

Pres. Obama gave the following speech at American University in Washington, D.C. on Thursday morning. The President called for 'comprehensive reform' that includes an amnesty for the nation's 11-18 million illegal aliens, resources for securing the border, an easier way for foreign nationals to come to the United States, and a crack down on employers who hire illegal aliens.

The virulently open-border Congressional Hispanic Caucus appears poised to vote FOR health care verification requirements that they vehemently oppose. And that is both a great irony of this protracted debate and a sign that grassroots activists for sensible immigration policies can take at least some satisfaction for all of their efforts this past year to make sure that whatever happens on health care, there won't be big extra incentives for breaking immigration laws.

In response to Rep. Gutierrez's introduction of a comprehensive immigration reform bill (H.R. 4321), Rep. Phil Gingrey is calling for a reform plan that would reduce the importation of foreign workers, not increase it like Gutierrez's bill likely would.

No Democrat in New York's large congressional delegation has shown more promise in truly bringing relief to the unemployed, especially in her approach to immigration issues. After only one term in the U.S. House, we still have a lot to learn about Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY). On many immigration issues related to the welfare of American workers, she did not take a stand. But when she did take a stand, it was generally good -- earning her a respectable B Immigration-Reduction Grade from NumbersUSA.

A national crisis requires bold action. NumbersUSA today urged President-Elect Obama to immediately suspend most importation of foreign workers to give relief to the American workers who will be left without a job if the importation continues. Unlike all other emergency recommendations, our call to action would not cost hundreds of billions of dollars. In fact, it would cost almost nothing.

A Fort Wayne, Ind., paper says Sen. Lugar thinks Americans will be so distracted by the bad economy that he will be able to slip the DREAM Act amnesty through the Senate this next year. It is always sad when a truly distinguished statesman, with a record of level-headed leadership, embarrasses himself with outlandish open-borders positions, but it happens all the time. Let me tell you why Lugar's dream of amnesty for illegal-alien teenagers is an attack on American workers.

NumbersUSA Education & Research Foundation provides a civil forum for Americans of all political and ethnic backgrounds to focus on a single issue, the numerical level of U.S. immigration. We educate opinion leaders, policymakers and the public on immigration legislation, policies and their consequences. We favor reductions in immigration numbers toward traditional levels that would allow present and future generations of Americans to enjoy a stabilizing U.S. population and a high degree of individual liberty, mobility, environmental quality, worker fairness and fiscal responsibility.

Those who need to refer to NumbersUSA with a short, descriptive modifier should call it an “immigration-reduction organization.”
